Notes on MP3/WMA
CQ-DFX983U
The model CQ-DF903U does not support MP3/WMA playback.
❐ What is MP3/WMA?
Common
≥ High bit rate and high sampling frequency are
recommended for high quality sounds.
≥ Selecting VBR (Variable Bit Rate) is not recom-
mended because playing time is not displayed
properly and sound may be skipped.
≥ The playback sound quality differs depending on
the encoding circumstances. For details, refer to
the user manual of your own encoding software
and writing software.
MP3
≥ It is recommended to set the bit rate to “128 kbps
or more” and “fixed”.
WMA
≥ It is recommended to set the bit rate to “64 kbps
or more” and “fixed”.
≥ Do not set the copy protect attribute on the WMA
file to enable this unit to playback.
Caution:
≥ Never assign the “.mp3”, or “.wma” file name extension to a file that is not in the MP3/WMA format.
This may not only produce noise from the speaker damage, but also damage your hearing.
∫ Displayable characters
≥ Displayable length of file name/folder name: within 64 characters
≥ Name files and folders in accordance with the standard of each file system. Refer to the instructions of writ-
ing software for details.
≥ ASCII character set and special characters in each language can be displayed.
ASCII character set
A to Z, a to z, digits 0 to 9, and the following symbols:
(space) ! ” # $ % & ’ ( ) * + , - . / : ; < = > ? @ [ \ ] ˆ _ ` { | } ~
Note:
≥ With some software in which MP3/WMA format files have been encoded, the character information may not
be displayed properly.
≥ Undisplayable characters and symbols will be converted into an asterisk.

Corporation. Using these compression formats, you can record the contents of about 10 music CDs on a sin-
gle CD media. (This figures refer to data recorded on a 650 MB CD-R or CD-RW at a fixed bit rate of 128 kbps
and a sampling frequency of 44.1 kHz.)
